April feels like a heavy energy month. The amount of major Arcana expressing itself throughout the signs and some of it unpleasant tells me that April is not “shiny happy people” but rather” get your act together”. Aries- 3 of Cups/ King of Cups/ 8 of Cups "It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye" sums up your Tarotscope, Aries, 3/Cups is about celebrations, hanging out with your besties and have a great time but watch your words and who you confide to because it looks like there could be a falling out between you and some of your social circle. Be like the King of Cups and make sure that what is said to you in confidence is met with your compassion, try to let go of any judgments with others this month to avoid a social conflict. Taurus- Queen of Wands Taurus your creativity and intuition are running high this April. Now is the time to get cracking on that project you know is a big deal but haven’t started on because your creativity, your receptivity to the big picture are running strong in the month of April. Now is also the time to be thinking in terms of your physical health; what are you doing to be the vital, vibrant you? Picking up a new routine to move and live in your body is also ideal for April. Gemini- Death Oh Gemini, (and I am a Gemini so don’t think I am picking on you!) what are you doing that is unhealthy for you? Perhaps you are being asked to do too much, to continue a job, relationship or living situation that is not good for you. Death is about full stop. It is a painful yet transformative process and you are being shown quite dramatically that you have to change what you are doing. The pain of radical transformation is difficult but it will come to and end no matter what you do so now is the time to prepare for change in a major way. Cancer- Justice "All’s fair in love and war…" unless you are a Cancer in the month of April. This month has you mumbling to yourself, “that’s not fair” and you are right, it isn’t! You need to speak up when you think you are not being treated fairly and advocate for yourself. This month is about working to achieve balance, transparency, and making things right. I know confrontation isn’t your thing, Cancer, but Justice holds a sword in one hand and so must you. Leo- Temperance Don’t overdo it Leo! Temperance calls you to take things easy. Right now, you are trying to mix “water and fire” together to create something new.. Try not to lose your temper because it is critical you keep steady and stay on point. Now, I know there are butterflies to sniff outside in the glorious sunshine and you want to play with but for right now you have to stay the course, be patient, be unswerving and you will win. Virgo- 2 of Pentacles Virgos, as a rule, aren’t the best with change, yet that is what 2 of pentacles is calling you to do. If you are unhappy it is up to you to change aspects of your life in order to get back on track. Change in the beginning usually means being messy, just what Virgos tend to dislike. Sometimes you have to toss the chips so they lay in new and creative ways. Libra- 10 of Wands April is going to be a hard working month, no doubt about it. Your job is to consider whether all of that hard work is worth it. Who are you doing it for? What is the purpose? If it feels like you are not making headway then try to come up with some creative ways to lighten your load. It won’t be forever, and if you can think positively you will get a ton of stuff done in April. Scorpio- 9 of Wands Scorpio, I know that you have been working hard and there has been a lot in your way; you are feeling worn down, tired and wondering if you should soldier on. 9/wands encourages you to keep going despite set backs; take a deep breath and keep placing one foot in front of the other. I know that you are capable of great focus, Scorpio, and this is the time when you need to engage it. Sagittarius- 4 of cups Don’t be too hasty to accept anything offered to you this month, Sag. If it seems like it is too good to be true, it probably is. Take time to do your homework, research the heck out of the offer and don’t allow yourself to feel pressure about coming to a decision quickly. I know you are a decisive type but this month is the month to sit with something a little longer before coming to a conclusion. Ambiguity is not your strong suit, I know, but doing so will work in your favor later on. Capricorn- 10 of Swords Aw, what’s going on, buttercup? 10/Swords is not a fun card, indeed, and it looks like April is going to be a tough month for you. My best advice for you is to not fight the ending of things; whether this be a relationship, job, friendship or other something has got to give and fighting will only make it harder to accept. Batten down the hatches, make sure you are practicing self care and know that hitting rock bottom will happen soon and what that happens the only way to go is up. Think about what UP is going to look like for you and start planning. Aquarius- The High Priestess Your intuition is thrumming, Aquarius and April shows high on the arc of your intuition. Now is the time to start asking the Big Questions and listening to the answer because your third eye is open and on full alert. Take this time to meditate, pray, go on long walks and take your journal, too, because you are going to be very perceptive and open in April. Capitalize on this time by making sure you’re asking the right questions; you know the one there in your heart that you are afraid to ask? Ask now. Pisces- 8 of Swords You can only think about it from so many angles and come up with the same solutions. This is the card of self entrapment. You keep swimming around and around in your pool there thinking that there is just no other way through; but there is. If you need to start floating your problem by a friend, a coach, colleague or mentor please do so because you seem to be unable to find the solution on your own. Its totally not as bad as you think and in fact the way through is very near you just need a new perspective to find it.
